Performance of ASTER and SRTM DEMs, and their potential for assessing glacial lakes in the Lunana region, Bhutan Himalaya
To assess the potential volume of a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) more precisely than in previous studies, we analyze ground survey data and remote-sensing digital elevation models (DEMs) around glacial lakes in the Lunana region, Bhutan. Based on a DEM generated from differential GPS ground surveys, we first evaluate the relative accuracies of DEMs produced by the Advanced Spaceborne Ther...
متن کاملGlacial Lakes in the Himalayas: A Review on Formation and Expansion Processes
In the recent several decades, glacial lakes have been expanding at the terminus of debris-covered glaciers associated with glacier shrinkage in the Himalayas. Accordingly, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have become serious natural disasters in the Himalayas. Bathymetrical surveys have been carried out at several glacial lakes, and the relationship between the lake area and water volume h...
متن کاملCorrection: Glacial Lake Expansion in the Central Himalayas by Landsat Images, 1990–2010
Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a serious hazard in high, mountainous regions. In the Himalayas, catastrophic risks of GLOFs have increased in recent years because most Himalayan glaciers have experienced remarkable downwasting under a warming climate. However, current knowledge about the distribution and recent changes in glacial lakes within the central Himalaya mountain range is still ...
متن کاملPatterns of rabies occurrence in Bhutan between 1996 and 2009.
This study was conducted to evaluate incidence and seasonal trends of rabies in dogs and other domestic animals in Bhutan from 1996 to 2009. Time series analysis approach was used to determine the seasonal trend and temporal association between species-specific rabies cases in animals. A total of 814 rabies cases were reported during the 14-year period, of which cattle and domestic dogs account...
متن کاملBathymetry and temperature of some glacial lakes in Wyoming.
On the west flank of the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming, are several large lakes occupying glacially scoured depressions dammed by terminal moraines. Fremont, Willow, and New Fork Lakes, having maximal depths of 185, 85, and 62 m, respectively, are not only deep, but in 1970-1978 they had no measurable coliform. They have exceptionally low values of total dissolved solids; Fremont Lake has only ...
